My pychosis is interfering with work.
I keep hearing my name everywhere, and sentences reverb in my head until I can insert my name into them and believe my name was said.
It’s super distracting and it feels like time goes by super slow.
I don’t know how much more I can take.
Should I ask to go home, or tough it out?
I have had this symptom many times, I have usually tried to tough it out, even when working, though sometimes I have asked to go home or take a break. However once when trying to tough it out it escalated and I was fired, which technically I could have appealed against, since you can’t fire someone for being sick. I would discus it with your boss, this will also help to lessen the psychosis as they are not really saying your name, you are just perceiving them to, and discussing it in the open will help to dispel this symptom.
Will going home help you recover from the voices?
Maybe take a short break and try to slow down, then see how it goes.
Also, do you take any vitamins? I found a multi vitamin, vitamin d and omega 3 really helped my head stay sober.
I don’t know if going home will help me recover, it would probably just lessen my discomfort.
I’ve got one more hour to go, might as well tough it out.
I told my boss I wasn’t feeling well mentally when I came in this morning, and before I went to break now, she told me how proud I should be of myself for coming in and doing my job even though I’m in a bad headspace.
She’s a good boss 
I’m sorry you were having trouble, I hope you made it through ok.
It’s good you have an understanding boss. If it keeps happening look into other med options, or find ways to cope.
If you have one hour to go then I would tough it out.
Yeah sounds like you have a very understanding boss.
I usually tough it out.
I only take time off if the doctor sanctions it.
